The Madras High Court has quashed a GST demand of ₹44 crore, ruling that "cash ledger deposits by a liquidator amount to a valid payment despite non-filing of GST returns." The court's decision provides a significant victory for the taxpayer. The ruling clarifies that a payment made through a cash ledger is a valid payment, even if the GST returns have not been filed. This judgment is a crucial precedent for other cases.
